Some consider the US as a mainland, but most residents understand the commonwealth relationship. I'm a bit bad at political terms, so sorry if it's not clear :/
As for moving, after completing 4 years of Med school locally, following up with residency in the states is an option. Texas seems like an excellent place for cars, plus it's a "low tax state".
Not yet. Their automatic email mentions that they respond within 1 business day.

Ditto. I have a hard time waiting until my car is up to operating temperature before I floor it. I love winding out 1st and 2nd....
My commute takes me for 4 miles on the expressway. If there is no traffic, the on ramp is a gentle right, with lots of room to go wide. I can enter with my foot to the floor at about 40, with just a slight bit of oversteer, then redline second and third before the end of the ramp. It's automotive nirvana
I guess I need my sway bars first for a proper slide on a ramp right? I guess I'll see what's that about after winter
Besides, I think I'd be very lucky to find a ramp in my area that would be particularly empty haha.

I only drive my car a few days a week, but when I do, there is always a moment, somewhere along the way, when I'm at full throttle. Always. It's usually second gear (so much win), but sometimes third, and sometimes out of the hole in 1st. Heck, at least once a week or more I turn off Traction Control so that I can muscle through a turn. Been digging the car like that for almost 3 years now.
Maybe it's a 6MT thing. IDK. Everybody approaches this hobby differently, I guess. With all the power-mods you did in the last year, Alfredo, I would have guessed you get on the car a lot.

I'll shoot Lance a PM if I don't get a response by the next couple of days. Never had a problem with FI's customer service.
You will love them. Just make sure to get some extra hangers in for support!
x2 :/

In other G news... HappyBuyItNow just emailed me a UPS Tracking Number out of Japan for a prototype Extreme3 roof wing. How cool is that? Totally free to me as they're working out the specs for the G Sedan. All they want from me are pictures and a thread on the forum.
Shocked. Hope it fits and looks good. Not sure what I'm going to do with it now that Winter is here.

I found them in Dragion's thread about roof wings: https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...adowspeed.html They created a single post with a picture of this "Gen 3" version of their roof wing, and an offer for someone to prototype the product. A few people bit at the opportunity, but it didn't happen, and their communication was very spotty.
Anyway, I had sent their eBay account an email, they replied back, some time went by without any communication, then it all picked back up, and now one of their new roof wings is in shipment to me for next week. I'm actually kind of shocked, but psyched to see what it's like. Per the measurements I gave them, they're sending me the Gen3 Roof Wing in gloss black. At least, that's the plan. Going to be interesting to see what shows up.

It's difficult to research them, because they operate solely out of eBay and a few car forums... and even then, they're JDM with so-so English skills. However, they seem ligit, and have been selling trunk & roof wings for a number of years out of Taiwan.

Nice , nice I am in for pictures and your as always very detailed review on it as well, IIRC you bit the idea of getting a gloss black one like we talked about it after applebees in Binghamton ?
Considering you are a very detailed person, I'm sure you gave them a very spot on measurements, and as far as they followed, the fitment should be very good !

Then I got to thinking of it less as a roof wing, and more of a trim piece, narrow, without the flip-up design of most roof-wings. And in that context, black, like the roof channels that lead up into it. With dark window tint, I think it might work.
At least, that's the thinking. But I could be way-y-y off, LOL.
